Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A communication method, comprising: receiving information from each device in a plurality of devices of one user, wherein the information comprises a device type and a current scene mode of each device, and wherein the current scene mode of the device comprises a driving mode, an exercising mode, a working mode, a headset mode, or a loudspeaker mode; determining a device responding to a voice instruction in the plurality of devices based on a pre-stored correspondence between the device responding to the voice instruction, the device type, the current scene mode, and a priority order corresponding to each device; and sending a message to a device different from the device responding to the voice instruction in the plurality of devices, wherein the message instructs a voice assistant of the different device not to respond to the voice instruction.
2. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein determining the device responding to the voice instruction in the plurality of devices further comprises: recognizing semantic meaning of the voice instruction; and determining, according to the device type, the current scene mode, and the semantic meaning of the voice instruction, the device responding to the voice instruction.
3. The communication method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining an operation corresponding to the voice instruction; and sending, to the device responding to the voice instruction, indication information indicating the operation.
4. A communication method, comprising: receiving a first voice instruction; entering a wakeup state according to the first voice instruction; obtaining information comprising a device type and a current scene mode of a device, wherein the current scene mode of the device comprises a driving mode, an exercising mode, a working mode, a headset mode, or a loudspeaker mode; sending the information to a server; and receiving a first message or a second message from the server based on a pre-stored correspondence between the device responding to a voice instruction, the device type, the current scene mode, and a priority order corresponding to each device, wherein the first message instructs a voice assistant of a different device not to respond to the voice instruction, and wherein the second message instructs the voice assistant of the device to respond to the voice instruction.
5. The communication method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving indication information indicating an operation corresponding to the voice instruction from the server, wherein the information further comprises the voice instruction.
6. The communication method of claim 4 , wherein when receiving the first message from the server, the method further comprises: receiving a second voice instruction; and skip responding to the second voice instruction.
7. The communication method of claim 4 , wherein when receiving the second message from the server, the method further comprises: receiving a third voice instruction; sending the third voice instruction to the server; receiving a third message from the server according to the third voice instruction, wherein the third message indicates an operation corresponding to the third voice instruction; and performing, according to the third message, the operation corresponding to the third voice instruction.
8. A device comprising: one or more processors; a memory configured to store one or more programs; a bus system; and a transceiver, wherein the one or more processors, the memory, and the transceiver are coupled to each other using the bus system, and wherein when executed, the one or more programs stored in the memory cause the one or more processors to be configured to: receive a first voice instruction using the transceiver; enter a wakeup state according to the first voice instruction; obtain information comprising a device type and a current scene mode of a device, wherein the current scene mode of the device comprises a driving mode, an exercising mode, a working mode, a headset mode, or a loudspeaker mode; send the information to a server using the transceiver; and receive, using the transceiver, a first message or a second message from the server based on a pre-stored correspondence between the device responding to a voice instruction, the device type, the current scene mode, and a priority order corresponding to each device, wherein the first message instructs a voice assistant of a different device not to respond to the voice instruction, and wherein the second message instructs the voice assistant of the device to respond to the voice instruction.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs stored in the memory further cause the one or more processors to be configured to receive, using the transceiver, indication information indicating an operation corresponding to the voice instruction from the server, and wherein the information further comprises the voice instruction.
10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs stored in the memory further cause the one or more processors to be configured to: receive a second voice instruction using the transceiver when the first message is received; and skip responding to the second voice instruction.
11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs stored in the memory further cause the one or more processors to be configured to: receive a third voice instruction using the transceiver when the second message is received; send the third voice instruction to the server using the transceiver; receive, using the transceiver, a third message from the server according to the third voice instruction, wherein the third message indicates an operation corresponding to the third voice instruction; and perform, according to the third message, the operation corresponding to the third voice instruction.
12. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises sleep instruction information.
13. The communication method of claim 12 , wherein the message instructs the voice assistant of the different device to enter a sleep state according to the sleep instruction information.
14. The communication method of claim 4 , wherein the first message further comprises sleep instruction information.
15. The communication method of claim 14 , wherein the first message instructs the voice assistant of the different device to enter a sleep state according to the sleep instruction information.
16. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first message further comprises sleep instruction information.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the first message instructs the voice assistant of the different device to enter a sleep state according to the sleep instruction information.
18. The device of claim 8 , wherein the current scene mode of the device further comprises a living room mode and a bedroom mode.
19. The device of claim 8 , wherein the pre-stored correspondence is stored in the server.
20. The communication method of claim 4 , wherein the pre-stored correspondence is stored in the server.
